Watered-down truth is not truth at all,
Though change which is made is tiny or small,
For it loses strength and takes on new meaning.
When slightly "off", it needs careful gleaning.
Sometimes God's truths are given new "title",
Allowing for "space" to "bend" what is vital.
Focus is robbed from truth's real intent.
It's strong foundation is crumbled and spent.
When truth is changed the future is bleak,
Leaving the hearers unguarded and weak.
Truth is from God, and He does not change.
His words and wisdom we can't re-arrange.
"His truth shall be thy shield and buckler."
Psalm 91:4 KJV
